WTF?

The machine was up for 10 days and the mozybackup service had consumed half of my available RAM.  Restarting the service released the RAM, as expected, but that seems a bit extreme.

In all fairness, I was 3 patch-releases behind, though there's no auto-update feature or notification in Mozy (yet?).  I upgraded to the latest version and will keep an eye on it.  Since Mozy doesn't post release notes or a changelog, I can only hope for the best.

EDIT: Updating to the latest version solved the problem.  The mozybackup process is appropriately consuming 33MB after 14 days uptime.

You really shouldn't ask this of a user of a website.  First, I don't expect to have to wait 5-7 minutes. Second, you're asking me to careful not to close your tab which is pretty much unusable.  Why not just say, "We'll email you when your account has been provisioned"?
